I visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium with my family, and it was our very first time there — and also our first time being together in Australia. It turned into such a special day for all of us. The exhibits were beautiful, the staff were friendly, and everything was easy to navigate as a family. The highlight for us was definitely the penguins. Watching them up close was magical and made the whole experience unforgettable. My family absolutely loved it, and it was the perfect way to celebrate being reunited. Highly recommend for families, first-time visitors, and anyone looking for a memorable day out in Melbourne.

This is a great building, inside and out. Full of light. Great variety of exhibits. We enjoyed the First Nations exhibit, in fact my husband stayed in there for the whole of our visit. Informative and moving. The Melbourne history gallery was fascinating.as as the Wonderous Planet. As we only had a couple of hours, we never made it to the Vikings but we have plenty of those in the UK. Importantly for a Brit the café makes a good cup of tea!! ILoved the small outdoor rainforest .too.

Melbourne Museum is such a delightful place to visit. Easy to get to, easy access when you arrive and well set out displays. My country grandkids were enthralled for hours with all sections of the museum. As was l ! So much variety,in well curated sections, to satisfy young (and old) curious minds . My only criticism would be the cost of the very poor food in the cafe. We had planned to eat elsewhere but everyone wanted more time exploring so we had no other option but to use the cafe. We had a fabulous family outing at the Melbourne Museum.

My trip to Melbourne SEA LIFE was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. From the moment I walked inside, I felt like I had entered a whole new underwater world. The lighting, the calming sounds, and the huge tanks immediately captured my attention. I was fascinated by the incredible variety of sea creatures, from graceful jellyfish glowing softly to playful penguins waddling around with so much personality. Walking through the ocean tunnel was my favourite part, as sharks and massive rays glided right above my head, making it feel like I was underwater with them. The colourful coral displays and tropical fish were breathtaking and made me appreciate how beautiful and diverse marine life is. The interactive exhibits were fun and educational, helping me learn interesting facts while still enjoying myself. Overall, the experience was exciting, relaxing, and inspiring, and it made my visit to Melbourne even more special.
